# How to open eclipse using java program?

I tried to open eclipse with particular [workspace](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/304118/transform-your-workspace-tips-for-enhancing-focus-and-productivity) using following [program](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12337/scaling-up-your-mentorship-program) but its not working.

```
Runtime runTime = Runtime.getRuntime();Process process = runTime.exec("eclipse.exe \"D:\\Research_&_development\"");
```

Use this code to open eclipse by your code:\

```
class openEclipse {    public static void main(String args[]) {        try {            Runtime.getRuntime()                    .exec("F:\\eclipse-standard-luna-R-win32-x86_64\\eclipse\\eclipse.exe
-data D:\\new");        } catch (Exception e) {         }    }}
```
